bhs_and_table.rw - Submitted by Allan Reid

Report writer to create a rule, procedure and sql script to create and maintain a history table for an existing Ingres table. Created script may be edited to modify criteria for the rule trigger. Rule fires on updates and deletes. Changed/deleted record is stored in the history table along with the users logon id and date/time stamp of the change. In the script is reference to entering records into a table 'db_rules'. This is a table we use to track rules placed into the database and allows a comparison between the system catalogs and this table to determine whether rules have been inadvertently lost or dropped from the system catalogs.
